Christmas Exhibit
- By Roger_Hensley on 11/14/15 at 07:48:07 - '100_3299_a.jpg' 101 KB
In just two weeks (November 27th) the Madison County Historical Society, Inc., Anderson Indiana, will begin it's annual Christmas Train Exhibit. This year we have a few new prototype items to show in addition to the model railroads. We have a PRR cabin car stove on exhibit, the switch board from Gridley Tower, and an assortment of early traction materials. In addition there are an assortment of photos we have added to the walls just for your pleasure.

We have made changes to several of the layouts as well and welcome all of you to the exhibit on M-W-F from 10 to 3:30 and on Saturdays Nov 28, Dec 5 and Dec 12 from 10 to 2. Come one and come all.

An N&W 2-8-8-2 approaches a camcorder (whose do you think it is? )

Keep the pictures coming, I don't want to be the only one keeping this up

Matt, I'm with you on that, I love the 2101 as well. The 2101 almost didn't make it this weekend. She went on a short trip this week and just returned home today. Even with the mainlines jam packed we still had time for the 2101.

Better late than never! Fresh out of the camera some WM pics for your viewing pleasure! New to the WMRR Co. GP9 #40!

Anthony: Look again

I think I got it, you are hoping to get a new Y6. They are really nice looking engines. If I'm right what road name are toy going to get? I saw there is allot of great choices. I would have a hard time choosing between N&W and PRR

You can see the high quality black paint Lionel used on the drivers and the red LED from the eob sensor board.

I will say this engine has the best whistle. It sounds like the SP 6 chime on New Hope and Ivyland #40.

My Lionel Southern Pacific Daylight Atlantic back in service with TMCC, EOB, Railsounds, and a fan driven smoke unit. It has been a while since I have run this engine, it has been at TAS waiting for me to work on it and I finally got the eob put back in and a fan driven smoke unit in it. I do plan to get it repainted to the same daylight paint.

What are you doing. I noticed you were doing something with DCS and the subway cars. I also saw you started Photo Fun Last week

[45]

Well I noticed that this was not started yet, so Iíll do it. If no one wants to do it until St. Elizabeth Hospital No.4 is back just say so, and it will not be done next week, so lets go....

On the SVRR we just finished putting signs up on our platform

If it's OK with SEH#4, I'll just end this one with a picture of my layout. I think we had a pretty good weekend. It wasn't the best but it wasn't bad either. More on the good then the bad. Good pictures all of you .

Cattle often come too close to the line in this spot. So we must be careful.

Rounding the curve, the lighting is not perfect but I think it is a good shot.

Well I don't see why we should not have Photo Fun. If everyone still wants to do it we have to figure out who will start the topic.

Neat mat, I ran my camelback like that once with a wire going from the cowcatcher to the cuplar of the car.

Here is a shot(from a video) I took last week end of an engine that you might never see runing tender first with a train Hope I am not bending the rules too much by posting a non-model railroad shot.

Here is 89 with the new car 60. She is a little taller than the polar express coaches but I like that since the PE coaches were not taller than 89ís tender so this works out well. I will defently make some SRR coaches starting with Cherry Crest.

TMCC, EOB, and Railsounds really do make a MTH engine better. You can see the lights in the dummy GP38-2 easier then in pics I had posted of it before. Thanks Brian
